What is to be done about the threat of radical Islam?  After explaining the problem<\/a>, Pat Buchanan gives his answer:<\/span><\/p>\n

How do we deal with this irreconcilable conflict between a secular West and a  resurgent Islam?<\/span><\/p>\n

First, as it is our presence in their world that enrages so many, we should  end our interventions, shut down the empire and let Muslim rulers deal with  Muslim radicals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, we need a moratorium on immigration from the Islamic world.  Inevitably, some of the young we bring in, like the Tsarnaevs, will yield to  radicalization and seek to strike a blow for Islam against us.<\/span><\/p>\n

What benefit do we derive as a people to justify the risks we take by opening  up America to mass migration from a world aflame with hatred and hostility over  race, ethnicity, culture, history and faith?<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are we bringing all of the world's quarrelsome minorities, and all the  world's quarrels with them, into our home?<\/span><\/p>\n

What we saw in Boston was the dark side of diversity. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Buchanan is right.  We will never be able to teach the backward denizens of these God-forsaken regions how to live.  And certainly not by invasion and bombing.  Besides, what moral authority do we have at this point?  We are a country  in dangerous fiscal, political, and moral decline. The owl of Minerva is about to spread her wings. We will have our hands full keeping ourselves afloat for a few more years.  Until we wise up and shape up, a moratorium on immigration from Muslim lands is only common sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common sense, however, is precisely what liberals lack.  So I fear things will have to get much worse before they get better.<\/span><\/p>\n
